A lightweight LIMS system

Managing Projects

When you enter Bonsai LIMS you will see a listing for the projects. BonsaiLIMS is not limited to single projects, you can manage as many projects as you like. An example of a the start screen or project listing is shown below.

The project name and Description can be set to what ever the user requires. The number of samples associated with the project are shown on the right hand column. Projects can be set up in advance of receiving samples and so will have a sample number of zero in this column. On the very left hand column, next to each project is a star. Users can select these stars by clicking on them, and they will turn Gold. This registers the user for that specific project so they will only see the projects they are registered for in the “My Projects” Tab. This can be helpful is the institution has large numbers of projects.
